MONEY AND THE MEANING OF LIFE

In this philosophical discussion of the meaning of money in one's life, Needleman looks at all aspects of money and how it affects people. From philosophical and religious texts, as well as real-life dilemmas, he draws examples of what money is and how it has changed its place in society. Needleman presents his subject in an informal manner, in a mixture of lecture and didactic stories that are similar to the works of Joseph Campbell. This style allows listeners to ponder their own feelings about money and life while following well-thought-out, if meandering, suppositions. M.B.K. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 99]
